Appraisal Report
This appears to be an Art Deco 'Waterfall' style dresser, popular in the 1930s and 1940s. It features characteristic curved edges, contrasting wood veneers (likely walnut and burl), and bakelite or early plastic pulls. The piece has a combination of drawers and cabinets. Condition is fair, with visible wear and tear, particularly on the edges and some surfaces, which is typical for its age but impacts value. The 'pickup only' condition also influences the attainable price significantly, as it limits the buyer pool. Similar pieces in good to very good condition can sell for more, but given the visible wear and local pickup constraint, the value is estimated lower. These dressers are commonly found, so rarity is not a major value driver unless made by a notable manufacturer or having exceptional craftsmanship/condition.
